'New Mutants' Brings in $7 Million at the Box Office Amid Pandemic

The New Mutants is on top at the box office.

The Marvel movie opened to $7 million from 2,412 theaters in North America amid the pandemic, THR reported Sunday (August 30).

“The long-delayed horror movie is one of the first titles to launch nationwide after a five-month theater shutdown across the U.S. The film came in on the lower end of expectations, although projections are tough in this climate. About 62 percent of the marketplace is open,” the outlet reports.

“There are still significant challenges facing the marketplace due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic (Hurricane Laura is also a concern to pose issues in parts of the south).”

Other debuts include Unhinged, which opened to $4 million, an Bill & Ted Face the Music, opening at $1.06 million from 1,007 theaters.

One of the creators of The New Mutants is not so happy with the movie, however.
